I had the same problem. I traced it down to my Big Muff but didnt want to lose it so I invested in some quality patch cables from our very own OBBM. The cables were great but didnt eliminate the hiss. I then bought a Boss NS2 (noise suppressor) and that totally solved it. I now have a very quiet signal path and I havent sacrificed any of my effects to get it. So in summary lol! Get a noise suppressor of some kind and wave goodbye to your noise.

I use that all the time cause my PC is hooked up to my HDTV in my living room. Sometimes I just cant see some sites so I zoom in

Anyway, here's a couple of pics like you requested.

If I had the money I would be pinching this from Warpig!

[quote name='Alien' post='377597' date='Jan 12 2009, 12:51 PM']I've got a DIY 4 Ohm 1x15 that doesn't get a lot of use. Fitted with an Eminence Kappa driver, 450W handling. I'd be looking for about £80. I could probably deliver as I'm going to be down your neck of the woods fairly soon. PM me if you're interested. Andy[/quote] I'll vouch for Alien. He sold me a DIY 2x10 and its a cracking little cab.

Signed just now. I also sent a mail to everyone in my bebo friends list. I played a gig with one fitted once. It only cut out twice during the actual gig but during sound check it took us much longer to set up than normal. If a venue requires it (community hall or social club) then fine but we wont play there. All venues being forced to fit one is wrong on a good few levels and thats why I signed up. At the end of the day if someone is playing with a valve amp, suddenly killing the power is a bad thing. I would like to see a promoter going in the huff because the gig is off when someones amp blows all the valves.

Or call Marshall to find out what the replacements should be?[/quote] Marshall are very tight with some info. I foned them up a while back when I was trying to fix up an old 4x12 I had lying around. They wanted the serial number for the cab and everything. If you have that then it shouldnt be a problem. Your best bet would be to remove the back and get all the specs from the cones already fitted. They should have labels stuck to the magnets on the back.

I have a few pedals. I dont use them on most songs but the ones I do use them on just wouldnt sound right without them. I cant see Spread Your Love by The Black Rebel Motorcycle club sounding even close without some heavy fuzz. Problem is though that the pedals I use (Big Muff, SD-1) are so noisy when switched on I need a noise limiter so then I am forced into having that there too. I did recently stop using my Compressor though so might try experimenting with a flanger when I use my Fuzz pedal. Sorry got a bit rambly there. I do like a good clean tone but there are just some songs in our set that I NEED pedals for. I dont mind though as I love toys and its always funny having more pedals than your Guitard

We play anything from Wilson Picket to Metallica but I think the most obscure one we have played was the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs: Phenomenon. I hated it though cause they dont have a bass player so I just kinda grooved around in E. Also we used to play The Music: Take the long road but only one of my mates knew it and if he wasnt there it was just wasted.

[quote name='vmaxblues' post='349039' date='Dec 8 2008, 08:51 PM']Hi guys, I have a gig on saturday and my left hand is killing me, I haven't a clue what I have done to do it, it appears to be at the base of the thumb, and it is excrutiating to play, anyone got any ideas? Cheers Stuart[/quote] See a doctor? You will prob get loads of useless unedumacated tips but without knowing what caused it a doctor is yer best bet. I sliced the palm of my fretting hand open the day of a gig once! Panicked for a little while then cleaned it up and super glued it back together Worked a treat!

I followed the first cry for help thread at work on a quiet nightshift and by the time I read it Monsieur Poirot (Shockwave) was well on the way to locating Jake. This is the first I have posted on the subject in any of the subsequent threads as anything I thought or would have said has been said. I am only posting now to say how happy I am that this all got sorted out and now the bass is actually in friendly hands Incx can breathe a sigh of relief. I am sure that he had all but given up hope of ever seeing it in the flesh and was sure at one point he may have been on the verge of giving up. After his phonecall to the police when they couldnt understand him then told him they couldnt do a thing without an address. Once again Rob you are the man and you deserve all the praise handed your way. Yours and others selfless detective work helped Incx to receive what is rightfully his. A proper heartwarming Christmas tale. Now, who exactly would get the book/film royalties when this is written up?!

So Mike moved on from the scare factory? I wonder how Sully is getting on? Sorry, I have a 9yo Neice and a 3yo Nephew who stayed last night and we watched Monsters Inc.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='331156' date='Nov 17 2008, 11:20 PM']Can't believe no-one's mentioned the Ashbory - [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashbory_bass"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashbory_bass[/url] and the truly worrying Roland G77 synth bass [url="http://www.helpwantedproductions.com/G77.JPG"]http://www.helpwantedproductions.com/G77.JPG[/url][/quote] The first thing I thought of when I read the OP was the Ashbory. Also Piezo pickups were a massive move forward in pickup design. I am still trying to work out what the OP is exactly asking for here. There have been a good few changes in bass designs even down to the sinsonido [url="http://www.adirondackguitar.com/electrics/aria/travel_bass.htm"]http://www.adirondackguitar.com/electrics/...travel_bass.htm[/url] Thats basically a stick with a tube frame. Certainly nothing like a P or a Jazz IMHO of course.

I agree with Kev I dont think this site needs much changing. Of course there are a few options the forum could use but to implement them its gonna cost money at some stage which then takes away the free aspect of Basschat which I love (typical Scot). Keep on keepin on CK
